thingie. fuck magnets. give me screws and anchors !
kakobrekla: asciilifeform but does usg really need
to honeytrap ? as far as i get it,
there is no need for such customs.
ben_vulpes: and
that's just 3 questions
that should be wrapped up neatly in
the operating agreement.
pete_dushenski: jurov: my guess is
that your approach is backwards. should have gpg signed statement FIRST,
then serious interest follows
ben_vulpes: yes, you're all in
the wot, so no need for contracts,
they're unenforceable anyways.
that said, without formalized business relationships, pricing
the paper's...complicated.
ben_vulpes: everyone's in
the wot (right?) so it should work itself out eventually, but
this is an interesting example of how gpgconomy works in contrast
to
the fiat contracting system.
ben_vulpes: well i'm not but damn
this is going
to be an expensive price discovery exercise without contracts.
jurov: ben_vulpes
there is not anything gpg signed.
there was agreement with scrat, but he went mia
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski has it with
the elusive negation
ben_vulpes: Namworld: it's painful
to watch people dragging
these details out of you. is
there a signed operating agreement in place people can look at somewhere?
Namworld: Although jurov and wao will consider any input/advice you give,
they
take
the decisions.
Namworld: No, we don't all have 20%. And
these are non-voting shares
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: no worries, i
thought mebbe it was sooper sekrit. but really, no finance background ?
mike_c: You each have 20%? Are
these "voting" shares or silent-partner
type?
Namworld: The sale will have
to go
through jurov & wao anyway
Namworld: In case anyone missed it yesterday, someone is looking
to sell 20% of Coinroll
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: you gonna let
the USG force you
to shut down your node?

the logs
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:04:36; *: asciilifeform admits
that he suspects bip64 of being a plot
to create usg-like bonds in btc. folks will be asked
to
trace X proper btc for X+epsilon 'locked' ones
that are
to land back in
their pocket 'in
the future', should
they live long enough, but are actually recovable 'because
this is how
the world works'
pete_dushenski: *contracts between private individuals being another sort of 'piece of paper' altogether, one obviously needing
to be very, very afraid of not honouring
pete_dushenski: if anything, it'll push a few maybe neithers off
the fence
towards manhood
pete_dushenski: i'd argue
that
this
type of posturing ~does~ matter in
the sense
that it's a further wedge between ( ) boys and ( ) men
pete_dushenski: 'don't bring electric power
tools because not green!' 'uhhh fuck you'
pete_dushenski: i've even seen
this at usg 'green building'
trade shows.
pete_dushenski: one wonders why usg/uk bother with such surveillance legislation at all if
they actually have de facto doing-whatever-the-fuck-it-wants-to-whoever-it-wants powerz
kakobrekla: actually iirc
there is a huge underground usg army base in mk

the man in
the uniform
to be a bandit, with whom one can come
to an understanding. he believes him
to be a robot, who must be feared. american law enforcers are able
to, by pressing on
the keyboard of a multitude of laws and regulations, 'transmute'

kakobrekla: this is a place where cops still
take bribes. all of
them.
kakobrekla: and you

assbot: Logged on 13-10-2014 12:56:26; kakobrekla: i understood
this pretty quickly so i never got employed.
kakobrekla: move
to MK, rent a flat for 100 bux, a better one
than my ex barrel.
☟︎ kakobrekla: it was slightly larger
